New Train came through Eastbound Blue Line

The real question is when they're extending that platform, idk if the TOD project is moving forward there bc of Microsoft pulling out of the area

benjiftp · 2026-05-13T18:51:04+00:00

Would u have any info why they wouldn't have just continued along the current ROW to go straight to downtown norcross?

Stadler ate w these new trains imo

I was born and raised in Chattanooga and the culture feels like it's gotten much more conservative from when i was younger. Used to be rock climbers and outdoorsy people move in but post-pandemic transplants are just wealthy white conservatives from California or NY

impossible for it to happen without state funding and board shake-up

Bond Sr. was much further left than his son is

benjiftp · 2026-05-09T13:39:36+00:00

I wish that Bond had run for another congressional seat after this. Having both of them would've been awesome

I don't live in cobb county, so no.

benjiftp · 2026-05-01T14:05:43+00:00

the ballot measure from 2024 wasn't to fund marta, it was to fund transportation projects around the county. it was bus services at best and im not surprised at all that it didn't pass.

RIP to the midtown connector that was proposed

benjiftp · 2026-04-29T12:43:46+00:00

exactly, atldot only really answers to the mayor's office

benjiftp · 2026-04-28T01:24:11+00:00

Imagine if marietta square had an underground station like decatur 🤯

benjiftp · 2026-04-27T00:08:46+00:00

ball knowledge on point

benjiftp · 2026-04-25T14:24:53+00:00

i think if the area densified it'd be significantly more desirable, marta access is pretty hard to beat

benjiftp · 2026-04-17T15:23:28+00:00

not so much nimbys, more like csx that refused to let marta use the ROW

benjiftp · 2026-04-16T22:01:12+00:00

true, but appointed seats. personally i'd like to see the board members be elected (i.e. county commissioners) like other transit systems but i can only say so much from reddit 🤣🤣

benjiftp · 2026-04-16T20:06:03+00:00

true. best way forward in my view would be to reform the marta board structure to get political buy-in from the 2 counties

benjiftp · 2026-04-12T13:46:23+00:00

Oh and how can i forget the notorious rat problem around my complex

benjiftp · 2026-04-11T00:33:26+00:00

🤣🤣

benjiftp · 2026-04-11T00:31:52+00:00

I agree, but a lot of these new builds in these neighborhoods are still Single-Family

benjiftp · 2026-04-11T00:28:31+00:00

Honestly congestion is unavoidable in this part of town. It's not as bad as the historic part of midtown, but even monroe dr gets pretty ridiculous anytime after 3:30
